Chapter 1; Meeting

 I wandered around just outside the village, looking for a tree to sit under in order to read my new book, when I saw him. Smiling and laughing as he ran around playing with some of the other village boys, not a care in the world. His blond hair shone gold in the sunlight, his smile making him light up the world like a star in my eyes. I smiled and hugged my book to my chest, watching him from afar as I usually did with most people. 

I sat under an oak tree and, still holding my book to my chest, continued to watch him run with the few other boys he was playing with. It seemed like they were playing tag, or maybe some sort of game they had made up themselves? It didn't matter to me, I was content with just watching. As I was watching them play, I mistakenly caught his eye. He stopped running and looked at me with a quizzical look. He took his arm and gestured to me to come and mess around with them with a large smile. 

"Come on!" He mouthed.

Everything about that smile on his face was perfect, and he was so very magnetic, so, naturally, I sat my book down and walked towards them, a slight smile on my face. As I approached them, I suddenly became self conscious of that tear on the right side of my shirt that was slowly unraveling my shirt as a whole, and the stain of strawberry jelly from this morning when I dropped my toast on my pants. 

I felt myself blush lightly out of embarrassment. I stopped three fourths of the way to them, I watched as he tilted his head ever so slightly, non-verbally asking why I had stopped. With growing embarrassment and a red face, I turned around and sprinted back to the oak tree, grabbing my book along the way, and hid in the village. 

(Hello! Author here, I am very sorry about the short chapter, but as I am working on school at the same time, I might not post long chapters all the time, but I will try my best :D

Also, I love hearing feedback and ideas!)
